Activities @ HPL for the week of 7-1
Photo display in the gallery
Ray Johnson, a retired Fort Hays State University Professor Emeritus, has been a novice photographer since his youth. His life as a teenager was filled with outdoor activities, which created his love for nature and the outdoors. This love comes alive in his photography. Starting tomorrow, many of his amazing photographs will be on display in your Hays Public Library gallery.
Ray and his wife, LaNelma, had the opportunity to live and work in India and Canada with International Bahá’í Schools. These International experiences provided a wealth of amazing photography opportunities.
Since retirement, in 2006, the Johnsons have enjoyed extensive travel in Brazil, India, the South Pacific, New England and Canada where their children and seven grandsons reside. Many photographs were taken during these travels and programs have been shared with the various social organizations in Hays.
The Johnsons spent the recent winter months of February through April 2012 in Oro Valley, Arizona. While there, they fell in love with the Sonoran desert, which is an arid region covering 120,000 square miles in southwestern Arizona and southeastern California. While in the desert, Ray took pictures. We know you will enjoy seeing Ray’s exhibit. Come cool off this month in our gallery. For more information, please go to our web site www.hayspublib.org
The library is closed on Wednesday for the Independence Day holiday.
